[DeusExProcella1]

All chapters are in the latest update.

FFF sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'll get back to working on this soon, I was finishing up a short novel that a friend commissioned.

 

[hellfire1]

Maybe someone could be of some help. I haven't played in a while. But before i could trigger the grudge arc again after beating it. I thought talking the fairy did it but no matter how many times i try nothing. any advice?

 

[Guy_Zer0]

Deus you're the man. Despite your hectic and busy life you still take time to not only continue this project, but to fine tune it as best you can.

My hat is off to you sir, all your hours and those of the testers are greatly appreciated.

 

[UPENDDOWNRIGHT]

Okay. What just hapened? I just beat the honey bee and I was going back too the town when the character just suddenly moved to the left and kept going no stopping!

Now she's stuck in a crevasse. Maybe it's my comp but man know any way to solve it?

If not can someone give me a saved file to load just after they beaT the honey bee. As a Mage and girl please.


NVM I Restarted my comp and it worked.

This can basically happen in any game, usually when you pause/Alt+Tab or whatever and hit a directional key at the same time.

Usually you can fix it by just doing whatever it is you did again and pushing the other direction.

Anyway a reboot is sort of a drastic measure, but will work too, of course. 🙂

stuck at Lady Venus with a thief

I first wanted to say thanks to Deus for this great game.

I chose to use a thief, and seem to really be stuck at Lady Venus. I've grinded up two levels, so I'm a level 5 Thief now.

Stats
Level: 5
Experience: 3716
Stamina: 113
Adrenaline: 14
Proficiency: 18
Technique: 16
Agility: 17

I have the Small Feather as my attack item, and the Dirty Linen Shirt as my apparel.

I have lost to Lady Venus probably 30 times now and the game is starting to get really boring, as I can't do anything else until I beat her except grind.

Lady Venus does get somewhat easier as I go up each level. I'm able to get her stamina further down with my increased ability to do damage, and I'm able to stay in the fight longer thanks to the Orange Juices.

What has helped the most seems have to been the access to Orange Juices once I hit a certain level. Almost every attack Lady Venus does is 30-50 stamina lost, so the Tomato Juices are useless.

I wish I could sell the Tomato Juices to the guard in the prison in the town, since I literally have 79 Tomato Juices from stealing them during fights, but the "sell" option is not available. Is this a glitch? Do I need a higher level to sell to the guard? I can't sell anything at all. The "sell" option is grayed out.

Well, I could really use some advice on fighting Lady Venus. For now, all I can do is grind and hope that leveling up again to Level 6 will help. That means I have to gain another 2000 XP, which is about 40 fights with giggle goblins or faeries. Those are the only 2 creatures I can find in the forest. These fights are really easy, boring, and repetitive. It's like pressing buttons for hours with nothing new happening.

To try to help level up, I do bring my collected Tickle Essence from grinding to the chest in the house with the blue roof. That's one of the only other quests I can do.

Also, I have the "Mother Where Art Thou" quest started, but just the very beginning where I've been given the quest. I have a feeling I can't pursue this quest until after Lady Venus...

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

 

[Carnivore]

Shy: I think you're placing an overemphasis on grinding. To get to lvl 5 by Lady V, I'm guessing you did a ton of it. I've beaten her as a lvl 3 thief a couple times, and it was hard but not impossible. 20 tomato juices (easy to obtain as a thief) were enough. In case you don't have the saves, and don't want to go back and try again:

Heal whenever you're at -30 max health/-75 max health depending on which juice you're using. Be patient and don't risk fighting with low HP. Always tickle a good spot: underarms, or belly were the best, IIRC. Just spam underarm tickles or something. If you're lvl 3, have the lvl 3 shirt. At lvl 5, have the lvl 5 shirt. Honestly, I'd say leveling is counter productive. You'll still be fighting with the lvl 3 weapon. Lvl 3 is the optimum time to fight her.

As a general note to everyone: STOP GRINDING. It doesn't make it easier, as I've mentioned, and the fights are doable at level. I've gone through with most classes, fighting Venus at 3, Bebe at 5-6, and Mammona at 7-8. You're weapons come at story points, not level points. They are most effective at the lowest level you can get them. You're also most protected at the very level you can armor up: 3, 5, 8, 11... which are probably the best levels to boss fight so far. If you're having trouble, DON'T GRIND, instead change strategy. Heal often, have plenty of potions and adrenaline, always tickle the best spots.

 

[tummytickler]

Carnivore:

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, I think I was doing what you suggested, and it wasn't working, which is why I gave up and just went back to grinding.

I fought Lady Venus when I was level 3, level 4, and level 5. I could never beat her.

If I were to heal when I'm at -30 max health, I would literally be healing every turn, which is what I was doing. Lady Venus does at least 30 damage each turn, if not 40 or 50. I was constantly drinking Tomato Juice just to stay afloat, and she'd eventually grind me down with those hits that were over 30 stamina. The Tomato Juices were really pretty useless since I didn't make up any ground at all, I'd just lose whatever health I had just gained. This happened at level 3, 4, and 5.

At level 5, it got easier, because I had more stamina to spare, and I now had access to the Orange Juice and a better shirt. So leveling up, at least for me, did make the game easier. I got further in my fight with Lady Venus at Level 5 than I ever did at level 3 or 4. At level 3 or 4 it wasn't even a fight, just me frantically drinking a ton of tomato juices until I lost. That's why it seems to me like grinding is the only thing that has actually worked.

And I always did a belly tickle attack on Lady Venus, which I learned is her weak point. So I was using the maximum power of attack. I never tried anything else, and it would always do a lot of damage, from 40-50 stamina points. At least...I think that's a lot of damage on Lady Venus. I know I've had much better hits on fairies and goblins using the standard tickle attack, but they're not bosses.

I just can't think of any other way to fight her better.

I really like this game but am about to throw in the towel. I don't understand why a game would be designed so that improving your character by leveling up would make the game harder. Doesn't make much sense to me.

 

[buttontickler05]

shytickler: One thing that will make the game significantly more difficult is choosing your weaknesses poorly when you create your character. Ideally, you'll want to set them all at 1, so that way you'll take the big damage from only your class's inherent weakness.

If you've already done this, then I have no way of helping you. If nothing you've been told so far helps, you're SOL. You'll be better off choosing a new class.

 

[DeusExProcella1]

There is a story related reasoning behind enemies becoming more powerful as you level. Like Carnivore said the reason leveling doesn't help is because weapons are story driven.

Edit: Ah ah ah ah. I'm retarded. I remembered thighs being a different color. She actually resists tickling there. Go for Belly, Underarms, Ribs, and Hips. Those are her weak points. Her only "Ultra Effective" spots can't be hit at this point in time.

Honestly, unless you are playing a very early copy of the game Venus shouldn't be cockblocking you. She isnt even the chapter one boss. If you are having to level beyond Chapter # * 3, then you are doing something wrong. The game isn't easy by any scope of the imagination, but Venus isn't that nasty (in this encounter).

 

[tummytickler]

thanks...other questions

Deus,

I'll try the thighs on Lady Venus next time. Thanks for the tip. Though from the looks of her, I don't know if she even has thighs? She's like half person, half plant...

What about my other questions. Why can't I sell items to the guard in the prison in the town? Is this a glitch? Is there some plot point I have to pass before I can sell items to the guard?

Also, should I be able to do the Mother Where Art Thou quest yet? Or is that only available after Lady Venus?

Ignore the thighs, I was mistaken. I just remembered thighs being different from the others. Turns out it was in the opposite direction.

You can't sell anything right now. In the gigantic overhaul of an update coming soon* you'll be able to sell stuff to a Pot Mimic in Knismesis Village.

Mother Where Are Thou should be completed before Lady Venus. Go to the Arrival Point, talk to the Fairy, go to the woods, find the goblin, beat her, find the Oni, beat her, return to the Father.

Enjoy the current level of difficulty. I fear a clusterfuck on the horizon when the update is released. So much overhauling...

 

[tummytickler]

mother where art thou still need help

Deus,

With regards to "Mother Where Art Thou"....when I go to the Arrival Point, there's nothing there.

I was able to go to the Arrival Point and find the Lost Child, and I finished that quest, so I know the Arrival Point was working for that quest. But now, there's nothing at the Arrival Point at all. Help!

[reggae warrior]

Talk to the people in the village, one of the women tells you to look at the arrival point. Until you do that there is nothing there. I think its the women standing on the bridge in the main village. Hope that works 🙂

 

[tummytickler]

can't win

Hey thanks reggaewarrior. Now that's what I call a quest. Ask around, fight some bad guys, get rewarded 🙂 I finished the "Mother Where Art Thou" quest! The TickleOni was a challenge, but beat-able.

Unfortunately, I think I'm screwed.

I'm a level 6 Thief and I still can't get close to beating LadyVenus.

Deus, when you update your game, could you provide some critical tips in a readme before the game is begun? Because I've put in hours into this game and I think I'm screwed due to "leveling up too much" and setting my tickle ratings too high.

I think the game should be beat-able regardless of how you set your character up...I think it's a flaw in the design :-( No offense. Just my opinion. It's your game so you can make it as you please. This has just been my experience. I have to start over :-(

Maybe this will help others not lose hours fighting an un-win-able character setup. New players, set all your body part ticklish settings to one!

[UPENDDOWNRIGHT]

There is this shining thing in the forest. (North, West, West) What is it?

 

[10 armed tkler]

shy you just screwed yourself over by over leveling. It is beatable with all tickling settings set high.

 

[tummytickler]

weird

That's messed up man. I don't see why a game would screw you for improving your character.

[Lummie]

I personally think Deus made a mistake by even mentioning you can overlevel. No offence meant, but I think now people just use it as an excuse rather than question their skill/approach.

I've done a playthrough with a thief before, and managed to beat her fine.

Give me 2 hours or so to stop playing CoD and I'll make a Thief really quick and see if it's seriously not possible in the latest update. 🙂

Edit: Okay so.

Thief
Lvl 3, Weaknesses all at 2, Belly (automatically) at 4.
Equipment: Skin-tight Tank Top and Harpy Feather
Items: 23x Tomato Juice, 9 Energy Potions (No Essence traded, steal is OP)

The Battle was long and boring. Took about 10 minutes, and I had 8 Tomato Juices left afterwards. That means I used 15, 2 charges each which brings us to healing 30 times. I used 3 Energy Potions so I could keep tickling her ribs. The only thing you really have to keep a watch on is your hp, don't let it drop below 30 except for at the end. Her tangling stuff is mean, but it's doable.

I definetly think it's doable at level 6 too, Steal is really OP as I mentioned earlier, by the time you hit level 6 you should be looking at a few thousand coins and tons of potions.

I'd rather go back to Black Ops now but if its really needed I can do a try at level 6 later, too.

Btw, we should all keep in mind that a large overhaul is coming anyway, so maybe just playing a stronger class like the slayer would be a better choice for now.

 

[pool2341]

Yeah Lady Venus is a little annoying but she's not impossible in the new update. If you set ALL of your ratings to 4 then yeah, she'll hit you for about 30 stamina on each hit. But she's certainly beatable with around 3 spots set to 4.
Quite honestly, Deus is putting a lot of work into this engine and it's his game. He explained very clearly why he made it so that leveling doesn't help you at all. Also, it's a beta. As much as there is it's still in development and this is by no means a final product. Maybe try to keep that in mind before you tell him he's doing a piss poor job because he's putting in a LOT of time

I wouldn't want to try her with even more weaknesses set to 4. I agree with you, it should be possible to beat her still. When I tried, I was still 800ish xp or so from level 4, and could've stolen alot more potions. But considering how busy I was with healing with everything set to 2, I imagine it's rather troublesome.

That last part was unnecessary if you ask me, noone said anything like that. 🙂 Enemies are supposed to scale with your level, but they're not supposed to be unbeatable once you reach a certain level. Like I said before, I don't think venus at level 6 or any level is unbeatable, but I can't be sure on that obviously. That's where your comment about it being a beta comes in, it's just normal if things don't work as planned.

 

[UPENDDOWNRIGHT]

Okay I canot find the tickle fairy I'm soppose to give the tiara back to in "Where's the cucko egg?" Can someone tell me where she is?

Oh and what ballad were they talking about?

 

[Carnivore]

Star, its the fairy that wanted a fruit. If you didn't help her, you can't finish that quest. You won't get the brush, but you can get the gloves in the first floor dungeon

I'd like to reiterate the idea of making a 'Tower of Galgalesis help thread" for all these comments, almost all of which are repeat questions. A help thread could deal with "how do I do X?" that us peons could handle, saving this thread for comments to and from Deus himself. I'd prevent excessive clutter, and no one would care if we gum up a secondary thread with our inane comments (that I have been guilty of as well).

I agree with the second.

I'm fixing the first. In the update, you'll also be able to give the tiara to the fairy who tells you your ticklishness.

 

[tummytickler]

keep it up

hey Deus

I hope my posts haven't bugged you. I apologize if they did. I really am trying to offer constructive criticism.

I've been waiting for a good tickling RPG for a long time. Your game is awesome. I know you're in college too and this is just a side thing for you. You're doing this all for free on your own time. So we owe you a great debt.

I just wanted to say keep on chugging, there's people out here who really appreciate what you're doing.
